Current Roleplaying Games being played
Two headed Serpent
System Pulp Cthulhu D100
Game Master Andy
Venue: Glanville Hall Wednesday night
Players: Andrew W, Carol, Freddie M, Graham W, Neil, Richard T
Table Full
The Two-Headed Serpent is an action-packed, globe-spanning, and high-octane campaign set in the 1930s for Pulp Cthulhu. The heroes face the sinister conspiracies of an ancient race of monsters hell-bent on taking back a world that was once theirs.
Working for Caduceus, a medical aid organization, the heroes will loot a lost temple in the forests of Bolivia, go head-to-head with the Mafia in New York City, face a deadly epidemic in the jungles of North Borneo, uncover the workings of a strange cult in dust-bowl-era Oklahoma, infiltrate enemy territory inside an awakening volcano in Iceland, face the horrors of hideous medical experiments in the Congo, race to control an ancient and powerful artifact on the streets of Calcutta, and ultimately travel to a lost continent for a desperate battle to save humanity from enslavement or annihilation!
If you liked Hellboy’s take on occult horror meets pulp, then you’ll instantly love The Two-Headed Serpent.
Dragon of Icepire Peak
System: D&D 5e
Game Master Jason
Venue: Glanville Hall Wednesday night
Players: Adi, Chris J, Helen H, Marco, Julia, George F
Driven from lands farther north by more powerful dragons, a young white dragon named Cryovain has descended upon the Sword Mountains, claiming the snow-capped range as its domain. Typical of its kind, Cryovain is dim-witted and cruel. The dragon patrols the skies around Icespire Peak, surveying its territory while hunting for food and easy treasure. With each passing day, the dragon's domain grows as it ranges farther across the land, preying on anything it can catch with its claws or freeze to death with its icy breath. Sightings of the dragon are becoming more common, as are its attacks.
In the last three or four years, settlers from the cities of Neverwinter and Waterdeep have begun the hard work of reclaiming the ruins of Phandalin. The new settlement is home now to farmers, woodcutters, fur traders, and prospectors drawn by stories of gold and platinum in the foothills of the Sword Mountains. The arrival of a white dragon threatens to destroy all that they've worked to rebuild.
Ovion Office
System D&D 5e
Game Master Dan C
Venue: Glanville Hall Wednesday night
Players: Jerrie, Josh, Kat, Ben, Callum, James
5e Ovion Office Is an odd mix 5e office based things, Eldritch horror, standard DND and Top ten things you should not know about FAX machines.(Ink not included). More Roleplay based game but all player driven so okay with fighting all the time. Starts at level 3 point buy or standard array for scores.

To my beloved Wife I do not know if you get this letter all I hope is that someone will find this and not make the same mistakes as I did.
1 day of this OFFICE Place ???
I was told about this by some odd looking man dress in a white coat and as you know we needed the gold.
So I took the offer, went into the mine to help him dig out more living space he needed there and this was fine till a odd buzzing sound.
The next thing I know I wake up chained to some kind of desk. Feeling groggy looking around in now what seem to be a prison I see others moving things of there desk. Some monster is barking some at me. I don't understand I reply and the monster lets out a grunt "Well look like this one will need some more onboard training power point sessions".
A woman elf next me put her frail hand on my shoulder, I turn to face her seeing a pleading look and a slow shake of her head...
SIR Weiser of Magn
Paranoia
System Paranoia
Game Master Richard
Venue: Glanville Hall Wednesday night
Players: Mark C, Jo, Will, Liam, Mohit, Simon H
Paranoia is a game of dark humor that occasionally — or frequently, depending on the group — veers into absurdity. The player characters aren’t misunderstood heroes; they’re bumbling idiots with little power of their own, caught in a rigid hierarchy that pits them against each other. Ruled by an erratic tyrant, the PCs are ordered from place to place with little explanation and tasked with resolving problems far beyond their understanding or capabilities. Petty infighting and character death are not just possible; they’re actively encouraged. This game isn’t meant for min-maxers: players aren’t even allowed to know the full rules, nor are GMs expected to strictly follow them.
Imagine a future where humanity has been either partially or completely eradicated (presumably by nuclear war). Before this great cataclysm, a number of bunkers were created to preserve the future of the human race.
One such bunker is Alpha Complex. Its overseer is The Computer, a perfect satire of Cold War programming. The Computer is erratic, manipulative, authoritarian, demanding, and above all paranoid: its overriding fear is that Communists, mutants, and traitors are lurking everywhere within its otherwise spotless enclave.
Dungeon Crawl Classics
System: Dungeon Crawl Classics
Game Master Graham
Venue: Glanville Hall Wednesday night
Players: Andy D, James W,, Jo F and Neil
Dungeon Crawl Classics is very much it’s own take on adventuring. Utilising a standard D20 system and borrowing from the early D&D ruleset, it forges its own path and rewards player creativity to overcome challenging odds.
The campaign will be free-flowing from one adventure to the next, although these are not set in stone, and will be chosen to suit the direction things are heading in or the adventuring party we find ourselves with. These range from otherworldly expeditions into the realms of law and chaos, hub town adventures with mysteries to solve, and deep deep dungeons where resource management and mapping will be key.
So, Ye who be not afraid, raise up thine pitch fork, or bee keeping staff, or crutches. Your town has been terrorised for far too long… it is time for action!
City of Nuln
System Warhammer
Game Master Chris
Venue: Glanville Hall Wednesday night
Players: Ahmar A (Em), Freddie M, Joshua G and Will L
Travelling to the City of Nuln a group of adventures form, their desire to make connections, get employment and more importantly, earn some Crowns being all too enticing. Finding a job in the city of opportunity isn't too hard, but the deep swill of the city's heart is as dark and rotten as the dangers it contains. How will you face these dangers and flourish with your lives, body and mind intact?
WFRP 4e uses a D100 system with bonuses for targets, D10s are recommended. The system itself is mid/high-fantasy and far more brutal than D&D. Prepare to lose stats, fingers, limbs, sanity and characters on your adventure. It would be recommended to have a basic understanding of the lore at a high level, there are plenty of resources around for free that can be read in a few minutes
Discworld
System Troika!
Game Master Liam
Venue: Glanville Hall Wednesday night
Players: Dan, David H, Jerrie and Mark C
Troika! in Discworld meets Charles Stross's Laundry via Time Bandits
It's certainly alot more Pratchett than the Gurps rule set of the official rpg setting
Discworld comes from the genius of the English author Terry Pratchett, a flat planet balanced on the backs of four elephants which in turn stand on the back of a giant turtle. Discworld frequently parody or take inspiration from classic works, usually fantasy or science fiction, as well as mythology, folklore and fairy tales, and often use them for satirical parallels with cultural, political and scientific issues.
Expedition to Kings Cove
System: D&D 5e
Game Master Andrew W
Venue: Glanville Hall Wednesday night
Players: Helen H, Marco, Richard T and Simon H
5e D&D game for characters starting at level 1.
The notice read “artisans with adventuring experience needed” to travel to new lands, help rebuild a town and explore perilous places.
Upon further enquiry it turns out that a merchant company called the Onyx Enclave have a trade route between the mainland and various settlements on the Kings Cove, a little-known stretch of coastline a very long way away.
Concern has been raised about Larzetown which is one of the settlements. The Onyx Enclave are hiring skilled people like you to travel there and under the instruction of Admiral Pustulus Lork:
Help re-build the town.
Explore the surrounding area to determine whether there are any opportunities that the Onyx Enclave should avail themselves of.
Should the mission be completed and your alive at the end of it then you will be transported back to the mainland. It couldn’t be simpler.
You set sail on “The Singing Siren” for a four-week voyage to Larzetown. Our story begins as Larzetown comes into view and you wonder not for the first time what you have let yourself in for.
Expedition to Kings Cove is a 5e D&D game that I would like to run for one rotation from April. Players will create 1st level characters with bespoke artisan backgrounds. The game will be a mixture of adventuring where characters will explore and gain levels in their class as well as downtime where they will contribute their skills to rebuilding Larzetown.
Mystvale
System: D&D 5e
Game Master Jason
Venue: Glanville Hall Wednesday night
Players: Benjamin C, George F, Kat and Richard C
In a forgotten corner of the reams lies Mystvale, a rugged and isolated land amidst the mountains. The people of Mystvale are tough and self-sufficient, surviving and thriving there for centureies. But now strange and terrifying new threats are stalking their homeland, far beyond anything they have faced before, and threatening to destroy their way of life.
Their call for help has been heard.
Join the reconnaissance party, travel to Mystvale and assess the situation. This is your opportunity to gain experience, develop your talents and doo good in this world. A wide range of skills will be needed to handle the terrain, gain the trust of the locals, and understand the dangers.
